Wish i could find a similar stream to the 'http://www.justin.tv/reignofchaos' stream yesterday, the quality was great and the guy was actually good :laugh:

I've seen about 10 streams the last few days, everyone just keeps dating, ringing random people and generally suck at the game. Nobody does any police chases either!

I've been playing this since Thursday, its pretty sweet, but I thought that motorbikes and helicopters weren't going to be included? I dont know if that was common knowledge or not, thats what I heard a while ago though...

No, in fact both of them were shown in trailers.

It's planes that were not going to be included (for 9/11 purposes).

No, just damn hard

Yeah it is.

Took me 5 tries to do that mission...

As it's the first mission you get 3-stars in.

Tries 1-3 I stayed in the building and tried to slowly mow my way through everyone that comes in - It's hard though with the swat rifles and the fact that waves of police keep arriving. Died each time after a good fight :p

Try 4 I just ran like hell through the building and out the front, and into the first pickup I seen. Took a bit of damage. Problem that got me though was the police blew out my tires quickly and I was grinding on metal. Too many of them following and ramming me, so I had to bail :(

Try 5 was the same as 4, except I got a copy car instead, then finally managed to lose the heat after driving for a bit!

ARGH Snow storm is ****ing me off

Read above :p

And also, enter the building from the ladders at the back, means you only need to take out 4/5 guys. Drop down to the left, and the room first left in the corridor has the coke.

Not taking them all out helps you though!

Means that when the cops rush in, they have their hands tied up with the goons trying to kill em :yes:

All i can say to people complaining about the stream i put up is that i was tryin to give loads of people the chance to see the game in action before tuesday should they want too.

More importantly, I did not quit after two seconds of it being live, i had loads of trouble getting Justin.tv to work, it would keep stopping the cast randomly or after so many hours, the fact that its been viewed over 10,000 times proves some people do want to watch it.

Im about 22% through the game, can anybody tell me when i get onto the second god damn island!

I've pretty much done everything there is to do on the first island, i've just done the mission "Escuela of the Streets" where you follow a drug dealer to his meeting place, and then take them all out in the warehouse.

I'm a decent bit on from that, and im still not on the 2nd island :p

Although I do think im very close now.

30 something % complete - That may include a 1/2% of side missions I guess, but really I've just been ploughing through the main story line.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
